Director: Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky
Starring: Lots more Beautiful People
More info: IMDB
Plot: This engrossing documentary revisits the chilling mystery at the heart of HBO's award-winning special, Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, profiling a trio of Arkansas teenagers convicted of murdering three 8-year-old boys. In this disturbing yet absolutely fascinating examination of the horrific crime and of the judicial system, directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky bring new insight to the highly controversial case.
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? I won't rule it out.
If this sequel didn't spend so much time covering the same information from the first film, it would have been better but it's still a fascinating watch. I understand the need to do so because you can watch this one without having seen the first one and not be lost. But, if you do see this one first, I encourage you to watch the previous film as it gives you so much more than is presented here. This is kind of like the Cliff Notes of the first documentary plus more speculation, investigation and a basic 'here's what's happened over the last four years'. As in the first film, it's completely scored by the music songs of Metallica, the boys' favorite band.
He's baaaaack!There is a sequel awaiting release.
